Vending Machine

A video of the model in action (and me in 9th grade) can be found here!

Aim -

To fabricate a vending machine to encourage reuse of bottles

Motivation -

As part of a project in the 9th standard to make a product which facilitated environment friendly practices, I conceptualized the idea of a vending machine that dispenses liquid (only to later find out that this had obviously been done before). I think this is my first formal project characterised by dimensioning the components and using methods reminiscent of an engineer :)

What I learnt -

Building for fun
Building with limited resources

Progress and Current Status -

Model fabricated and submitted at school. Yep, it's not with me :(
Presented at the school science exhibition

Rough Timeline -

Grade 9
